Q: Will my insurance cover home healthcare services from Sibley Care?

A: Some may require preauthorization of services or co-pays or limit the number of home visits. Nearly all insurances require that you meet homebound criteria – similar to Medicare’s – to be eligible for home healthcare. Sibley Nursing has insurance specialists who can contact your insurance company to determine the specifics of your policy. Most insurance companies will not pay for private duty attendant care.


Q: Can I use Long Term Care Insurance to pay for home care from Sibley Nursing?

A: If you have a Long Term Care Insurance Policy, talk with your representative to verify coverage. You will need to find out if you have a deductible, what the criteria is to meet it and what your daily benefit is. Next you need to know the limitations for utilizing your policy to pay for your care. Many policies only cover if there are at least two deficits in your activities of daily living. Some require that a nurse from their company perform an assessment prior to the start of care. Sibley Nursing will work with you to maximize your Long Term Care Benefits, and when possible, invoice the insurance policy directly so you do not have pay out of pocket.
